Shares
ISLAMABAD: Hussain Nawaz Sharif has now claimed that his sister, Maryam Safdar, was acting as his ‘authorised signatory/representative’ in matters pertaining to management of two offshore companies – Nielsen and Nescoll – that own the Sharifs’ London flats.
The PM’s sons – Hussain and Hassan – through their counsel Salman Akram Raja on Thursday submitted an additional statement along with documentary evidences to establish the money trail for acquiring their London flats.
The PTI, while submitting few documentary evidences, has claimed that Maryam is the beneficial owner of both London flats.
The Sharif family had earlier denied the PTI’s claim in the fresh statement by saying that the so-called documents, showing Maryam as a beneficial owner of the companies, were forged. However, the family, in its fresh statement has further elaborated the role of Maryam regarding the ownership of London properties.
The statement says that Hussain requested his sister to act as his authorised signatory/representative in the matter pertaining to management of Nielsen and Nescoll.
For this purpose, it was decided to appoint M/s Minerva Trust Corporate Services Limited, Minerva Nominees Limited, Minerva Services Limited and Minerva Officer Limited – companies regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission – as service providers with respect to both the offshore companies after Hussain acquired their shares.
